Eyelid Lift
The eyes are a crucial aspect of facial communication and expression, and they are also one of the first areas of the face to show signs of aging. Over time, skin in the eye region becomes lax and loose, fat around the eyes tends to fluctuate, and the quality of skin and the supporting structures underneath begin to change.
Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty):
"Brighten Your Eyes, Refresh Your Look"
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or an eyelid lift, is a transformative procedure that rejuvenates the appearance of the eyes. In the past several years, blepharoplasty has risen to among the top five plastic surgery procedures performed on both men and women.
Blepharoplasty is the medical term for cosmetic eyelid surgery, a procedure performed to treat signs of aging, such as excess eyelid skin, poor fat distribution, and weak muscles in the upper or lower eyelids.
